The newly published study showed how a downwelling of warm waters deepened the storm's fuel tank for a rapid intensification toward hurricane status. The results also revealed how hurricane-generated currents and ocean eddies can transport oil and other pollutants to coastal regions.http://phys.org/news/2015-07-insights-hurricane-intensity-pollution.html

Just when you find your favourite TV show on YouTube and press play, the video quivers and hangs because the network is overloaded. Or even worse, the deciding goal in the final game of the World Football Cup reaches your TV streamer later than your neighbours' due to so-called latencies, that is, delays in transmitting the game. More and more data, users, apps, end devices, new forms of communication like hashtags and flashmobs and augmented reality games like Ingress are pushing the internet to the borders of its capacity and sometimes bringing it to a standstill.http://phys.org/news/2015-07-dynamic-mechanisms-web-enormous-capability.html

One of the factors that could be contributing to the decline is the use of insecticides—specifically neonicotinoids—that persist in rivers and streams. Researchers now report in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters that although sunlight plays an important role in degrading pollutants, its effects on neonicotinoids can diminish dramatically even in shallow water.http://phys.org/news/2015-07-neonicotinoid-threat-honey-bees.html

Their results show that the loss of biodiversity is caused to a significantly higher degree by changes in land use practices than by climate change. In consequence, conservation concepts for this valuable ecosystem and the organisms that live in flowing water should be adapted accordingly. The study was recently published in the scientific journal Freshwater Biology.http://phys.org/news/2015-05-pose-greater-threat-climate-biodiversity.html
